Different Types
1. Industrial Style
Metal frames create the foundation for these reliable open-shelving units. The book stand's shelves are more than sturdy enough to accommodate encyclopedias, vinyl records, and file storage boxes easily. A wooden bookshelf in this style includes spaces measuring 32cm between each level, making it simple to access stored items. The open bookcase construction features shelves that extend 30cm deep, perfect for larger books and display pieces. Between the metal supports, each shelf spans 90cm, offering ample space for organising collections. The 2.5cm thick wooden panels provide steady support across their full width. Cable management openings at the back of each shelving unit allow for neat organization of wires when using the unit for electronics or display lighting.
2. Oak Construction
Solid oak forms every part of these open shelving units, from the frame to the shelves. Each shelf of an oak bookcase supports up to 30kg, which is ideal for extensive book collections. The narrow bookcase design incorporates 3cm thick shelves with metal support brackets positioned for maximum stability. Every open bookcase includes secure wall fixing brackets and appropriate screws for installation. The 35cm spacing between shelves accommodates oversized books, photo albums, and display items while leaving enough room to easily remove and replace items.
3. Reclaimed Materials
These bookshelves incorporate wood with history, each open bookcase showing unique characteristics. The shelving unit construction begins with substantial 4cm thick shelves that extend 28cm deep - perfect for standard book sizes. A large bookcase in this style provides 85cm of space between the vertical supports, accommodating wider storage boxes or extensive book collections. Metal brackets reinforce each corner joint, ensuring the book stand remains square and stable. The open shelving unit surfaces retain their original character while providing reliable daily use.
4. Multiple Sections
Divided sections work well for organising different items in your home. The main unit reaches 180cm in height - enough for a full collection of books or display items. Each section measures 90cm wide, fitting larger sets of books or photo albums comfortably. You get 32cm of height between each shelf, fitting most standard-size books and folders with room to take them out easily. The dividing panels are 40mm thick, giving proper support for heavy items on either side. Many customers connect several units side by side for a library wall effect.
Please note that the above-mentioned dimensions for the above types of bookcases are based on their average measurement and may slightly vary for the product you choose.
Available Colours
Grey Finish
An open bookcase in grey works well in both bright and low-light rooms. The shelving unit's neutral tone blends with most colour schemes. Grey open bookcases maintain their appearance well with daily use.
Black Finish
An open black bookshelf with doors in black creates contrast in living spaces. A black open bookcase pairs well with wood or metal furnishings. These shelving units keep their smart appearance with minimal maintenance.
White Finish
White bookcases brighten living spaces. An open bookcase with storage in white suits both modern and traditional rooms. These bookshelves help reflect light around the room while displaying your items prominently.
Console Tables
Position an open shelving unit alongside our console tables for a coordinated look. The tables stand at 85cm - an ideal height that matches most bookshelves. Each table projects around 35cm from your wall, giving enough space for lamps or displays without taking up too much floor area. The 120cm width provides plenty of surface space for your items. A useful shelf sits 20cm above floor level, spanning the full width of the table. This lower shelf works well for storage boxes, books, or decorative pieces you want to keep handy.
Coffee Tables
Set up your small bookcase next to the coffee table and you'll have books within arm's reach. These tables give you good surface space - 120cm long and 60cm wide, standing at 45cm high. The shelf underneath has room for your magazines, spanning 110cm by 50cm. There's 15cm space under the shelf so it's easy to clean around, plus you can quickly grab magazines while relaxing on your sofa.
TV Units
A TV unit pairs well alongside most shelving arrangements be it oak bookcases or metal bookcases. Units measure between 45-50cm tall - a height that suits most viewing positions from standard sofas. The width options range from 120cm for smaller screens up to 180cm for larger entertainment setups. Each unit matches the standard shelving depth of 40cm, giving enough space for modern gaming consoles and TV equipment. The units feature 6cm gaps at the back for running cables neatly between your devices.
